SmartContextMenu

While nowadays hardware manufacturers try to distinguish themselves from the competition by implementing cosmetic upgrades in the form of RGB lighting for RAM modules, peripherals and laptop cases, computers remain tools designed to help us carry out daily tasks more efficiently.

In this sense, those looking to maximize the productivity potential of an already powerful system are better off customizing the software side with third-party programs the likes of SmartContextMenu.

Given most GPUs’ support for multiple monitors, many users try their best to make use of the newfound screen real estate by stacking running applications in grid-like arrangements. Those seeking a more precise tool compared to Windows’ built-in Snap Layouts should find good use in the program at hand.

Upon choosing the desired combination of shortcut keys accompanied by the right mouse button, the app reveals a series of swift commands that allows them to not only change the position of the active window, but also resize it and keep it in the foreground to monitor the progress of ongoing operations.

Apart from being able to select which functions are deemed most important to their workflows, users also have the opportunity to disable any of the window control buttons to avoid accidentally closing them.

Programs that still run in the background can be sent to the system tray to prevent them from crowding the taskbar. The location of temporary files at risk of being corrupted by impending Windows updates can be opened within the Explorer to make swift backups when necessary.

If you happen to be an avid user of the trusty and reliable Command Prompt and you wish to modernize it without switching to the Terminal app, enabling the Aero Glass feature gives it a style more akin to the Acrylic theme natively supported by Windows 11.

Whether you want to change the aesthetics of certain legacy apps to match the modern standards or you simply wish to manipulate the windows of running programs with the cursor instead of relying on hotkey combinations, SmartContextMenu is an excellent utility for enhancing your multitasking experience.
